RADIOLOGY PRIVILEGES REQUEST FORM

INTRODUCTION

The Radiology Privileges Request Form must be accompanied or preceded by a complete application for medical staff appointment, including the necessary supporting documents. Many clinical privileges pertinent to the practice of radiology are listed below. The request for privileges must reflect both the applicant’s and the facility’s/staff’s ability to carry out or support the various functions. Documentation of training and/or experience in performing various procedures/modalities must accompany this request. Any additional privileges may be requested on the form or may be presented in an attached list.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FORM

Applicant: With a check mark in the appropriate location, indicate for each item whether you are requesting either limited or full privileges. Limited means that the applicant may function in the area of the stated clinical privileges only under the direct supervision of a provider holding full privileges. Full means that the applicant is entitled to function independently, following standards consistent with the medical community at large. Be sure to sign the request as indicated on page 4.

Discipline-specific supervisor or consultant: Indicate your recommendation for each requested clinical privilege by placing a check mark in the appropriate location for either full, limited, or not recommended (N.R.).
